Back in the early 80s, I tried blotter - took 1/2 (by myself) after 30-45 min. figured it was all bs so I took the other 1/2 - then I 'did not truly enjoy the next 8-10 hrs' - a year later, amidst friends I spit a purple microdot w/a gf and a very fun time was had by all. 3rd time, same folks/environment/gf - same fun time. Last (4th) time was at the NC coast w/ some dick I thought was a friend and it was very unpleasant (blotter/window pane). That was it for me.

During these years I did try shrooms and, while the smell/taste was horrible, and there was some initial nausea, it was a much smoother experience and we all (same group of friends) spent the night giggling our arses off. I wouldn't mind giving that one more go - but alas, I'm old now and am unable to do such youthful things. The only thing I never understood was why everyone always wanted to play Pink Floyd through it all...

Opeth1429:This is why ingesting illegal drugs doesnt make sense to me. The user has to procure them from a surreptitious source and then trust that it is what the seller says it is without knowing anything about what they're actually getting.

Even prescription drugs are subject to counterfeit.

Thats the thing, drugs you buy from a dealer are probably safe and of average potency, a dealer doesnt want to risk cutting their product with something dangerous and killing their customers, and conversely isnt going to give you anything laced with something more potent for free. Most of these synthetics are purchased at shady convenience stores that really dont give a fark and the formulation changes from week to week.

offmymeds:FarkinHostile: Kids nowadays. Why can't they just stick to dipping cigarettes in embalming fluid to get whacked like we did?

A doctor friend of mine recently told me that some folks are dipping their joints in formaldehyde.

Which is hilarious, because ACTUAL embalming fluid, formaldehyde, doesnt get you high, it just gives you cancer. Embalming fluid is a street name for liquid PCP, which is in no way similar to formaldehyde, but that hasnt stopped idiots from burglarizing mortuaries.
